Banksy’s Simpsons opening proves Groening has Fox by the balls

If this was any other show, there would be trouble. A radical left of centre view highlighting in a dramatic, artistic way the over reliance we in the West have on cheap/slave labour for our consumer tat. Not just to be shown on Fox but pinning the blame Fox as well.

To some extent, The Simpsons is what makes Fox. Groening knows he has Fox by the balls, so he just gave the Murdoch family jewels a gentle squeeze. In this relationship, Fox is Homer, The Simpsons is Marge and we all know that Homer needs Marge more than Marge needs Homer. This was Matt Groening reminding Fox of that.
